How to Apply Makeup

Rather than choosing the makeup products of different brands and varieties, there is an adequate sequence of applying makeup that goes as follows: Foundation (along with under eye concealer if required), corrections and improvements, blushers, powders, eye make up and finally lip makeup. Before applying makeup, wash your face and neck in detail since a clean face is the first requirement for perfect makeup application.

Start with a concealer the color of which should be one shade lighter than the color of your foundation. Dot it accurately on the areas such as under-eye circles and blemishes with your finger tip or sponge for perfection.

If you have chosen concealer that tends to cake, you should apply eye cream before applying concealer. Always choose the foundation that perfectly matches with your skin tone. After applying foundation as dots over the central area of the face, slowly spread it over with your tips of finger or makeup sponge.

In order to retain the foundation and concealer for long time, use pressed or loose power. Using pressed power to touch up during whole day around is also required to keep the foundation longer.

After doing your eyebrows, you should apply powdered eyebrow shadow for natural appeal rather than using pencils. Hard and slanted brush is ideal for eyebrow shadowing. There are light, medium and dark eyeshadows to choose from. Dark shades in thin line should be applied on upper eyelid, medium shade should be applied for the crease and light shade under the eyebrows.

Now, to choose the perfect eyeliner. You can choose from eyeliner cake, eyeliner pencil or many others. You can acquire darker look by applying the outer two-thirds on the lower eyelid and all the way across the upper lid. You can apply mascara to upper and lower lashes according to the color of you skin. Brown shades would be good for fair-skinned people, and black or brown-black would be ideal for darker coloring.

You can also try trendy colors like plum or navy for fun. Applying blushing enhances your looks on the cheeks. Choose suitable lipstick according to your skin tone. Drawing outlines with lipliners are best for perfect lipstick application.
